G.Skill or Super Talent

[Drudge85]

I am going to be building a new system I have looked at 2 different sets of memory I wanted some ram that overclocks a bit and runs stable. Here are the 2 options a found.

G.SKILL 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory - Retail

SUPER TALENT 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory - Retail

I have looked all around for reviews and found no specific reviews on these perticular models. But I know I have heard great things about both especially the super talent. Also I was wanting to get 4gigs would that pose a problem I know that 32-bit windows will not read it all but thats ok with me I may upgrade soon to 64-bit.

Ease of getting it replaced it it craps out is a plus also but newegg will replace within 3 months anyway and if it runs for 3 months it will probably keep going. They would probly replace it after the 3 months are up at newegg from what I hear.

Also the computer will be as follows.
E6750
Antec P182
Corsair 520W PSU
8800GTS 320MB
Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3P
WD Caviar RE2 500GB

Processor will be cooled with a ZeroTherm BTF90 and I was wondering How much of an overclock I could do and still stay in temp limits without hurting anything.

I Was thinking maybe 450x8 but didn't know if the Northbridge would get too hot.
400x8 or 425x8 might be better I really have no idea.

I'm really into computers but have never built one from scratch before I have taken them compleatly apart and swaped towers before and changed a mobo but thats it. I really want to get into a bit of overclocking and just have a little fun.

If you are going to 64bit soon, i would think about 4gb especially if its vista. 2x2gb would be better but is still pretty expensive and CAS is still fairly high. DDR3 is here and will be hear to stay.

IMO

Get 2gb of faster CAS

By the time you want more ram more than likely ull be going to DDR3 with solid 64bit OS

Super Talent IMO. If you want fast ram with 4t get Corsair or Crucial.

Also can you tell a big speed difference between CAS 5 and CAS 4; just wondering.

I'm leaning twards 4gigs of the 2 that I mentioned.

Generally lower timing will increase the rams OC ability. As for noticing a difference between CAS 4 and 5 id doubt it, there should be a difference in memory benchmarking but that about it.

I dont think ull find 2x2gb with that low a timing. But 4gb will be better than 2
